DOROTHY v 1). WHITAKER, or PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

SLEEVE-PROTECTOR.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, (Miss) DOROTHY V.

references to that class of sleeve protectors adapted to be used to advantage by stenog- 'raphers, typists, clerks, nurses, sales ladies,

school girls and others to prevent the wearers sleeve from becoming soiled.

Heretofore sleeve protectors of the same class to which my invention pertains have been held or retained'in position upon the wearers sleeve by means of strings, elastic bands, tabs or other equivalent means, all of which have been found defectivein certain particulars and expensive to manufacture.

A primary object of the invention is to provide in a sleeve arotector a simple and inexpensive means protector in position upon the wearers sleeve, the means being of such a character as to permit the article to be manufactured at a relatively low cost as compared with other similar articles of manufacture which are at present on the market.-

A further object of the invention is to provide a sleeve protector of the above mentioned character so shaped as to permit a maximum number to be placed for shipment in the smallest possible container or receptacle.

A further object of the invention is to provide a simple and effective means for preventing the sleeve protector from cutting or chafing the wrist of the wearer.

A further object of the invention is to provide a sleeve protector which may be utilized for displaying certain advertising matter and on which notes or memorandums may be kept at all times in view of the wearer.

Other objects and advantagesof the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description taken in corn nection with the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings, forming a part of this specification and wherein like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

rated paper which may be torn or separated along the line of perforation into a pair of sleeve protectors embodying my invention, Fig. 2 shows a sleeve protector embodying my invention applied to the sleeve of a wearer, and,

F' g. 3 shows the article embodying my invention detached. Y I

In the drawings, wherein'for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred form of my invention, the numeral 5 indicates as a whole a blank, preferably cut square as shown, perforated diagonally as shown at 6, the perforations making possible the easy separation of the blank to provide a pair of sleeve protectors. One corner of the blank is coated with a suitable solution as shown at Twhich when moistened makes possible the adhesion of one corner of the sleeve protector tothe main body thereof as shown in 1g. 3. By applying the gum or adhesive to the corner of the blank it is apparent that only one operation is necessary to coat a '7 corner of each, sleeve protecton. It is further apparent that by perforating the blank shown at 6 a simple container adapted to receive a quantity of sleeve protectors in a relatively compact form may be employed. In. actual practice it may be found desirable by a firm, should they desire to dis tribute these articles as an advertising medium, to print on one of the sleeve protectors a desired advertisement as expressed by the phrase Use X Y Z cold cream. It may be found desirable for the convenience ofthe wearer to leave the opposite corner of the sheet 5 blank so that any desired memorandum may be written thereon which will be" constantly in view of the wearer.

A memorandum, for example, is expressed in the sentence John Doe will call at 10 A. M. to see R. Roe-which is shown in Fig. 2. It will be noted that because of the peculiar shape of the sleeve protector the blank of the wearer but on the other hand when the blank is perforated so that it may be separated to form the sleeve protectors the small prickles as shown at S prevent chafing or irritation of the wrist and further serve as a reinforcement for the edge of the sleeve H'OtQCiLOl, thereby preventing it from becoming easily tor It is to be understood that the form of my invention therewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure and protect by'Let-ters Patent of the United States is:

l. A sleeve protector comprising a triangular piece of paper adapted to encircle the wearers arm, said triangular piece of paper being provided with an irregular edge to prevent chafing of the wearers wrist.

A sleeve protector comprising a trian sgular piece of paper adapted to encircle the wearers arm, said triangular piece of paper being provided with an irregular edge edge to prevent chafing of the wearers wrist,

and adhesive material. carried atone corner of said triangular shaped piece of paper for securing the sleeve protector in an encircling position upon the wearers arm.

4-. The method of forming a pair of sleeve protectors from a single square sheet of paper which consists in diagonally perforating said sheet 01" paper and applying an adhesive to one corner of said square sheet of paper and separating said sheet along the diagonal perforation. I V I 5. The method of forming a pair of sleeve protectors from a single square sheet of paper which consists in diagonally perforating said sheet of paper and coating the same with a suitable adhesive equal areas oi. each half of said sheet of paper at a corner thereof and separating said sheet along the diagonal perforation.
